What is TIR (Total Internal Reflection), and how efficient is it?

Total Internal Reflection (TIR) is Atlantium’s patented technology that enhances UV efficiency through a unique chamber design. Instead of using traditional stainless-steel chambers, TIR chambers are made of high-quality quartz surrounded by an air block. This design traps UV photons using fiber optic principles, causing them to repeatedly bounce within the quartz chamber. This recycling

How does the HOD MP UV remove Free Available Chlorine (FAC)?

The HOD MP UV system effectively removes Free Available Chlorine (FAC) by targeting both forms present in water—hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite ion (OCl⁻), each with unique absorption characteristics. At pH levels below 7, HOCl is predominant and highly reactive to UV exposure, breaking down more easily into chloride ions (Cl⁻) and oxygen (O₂). As

What is the difference between low-pressure UV and medium-pressure UV?

Low-Pressure (LP) UV: • Emits a single wavelength (253.7 nm). • Operates at lower temperatures and is generally more energy-efficient than MP lamps. • Produces less UV light overall, requiring more lamps in the system for effective coverage. • Limited versatility in handling a variety of contaminants, as it does not damage microorganisms’ recovery mechanisms.
